I continue to be inspired by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong's book, You Just Wait - A Poetry Friday Power Book.
Today I am sharing the poem I wrote for the Powerpack 8 prompt, The Shortest School Day Ever (sequence poem): Write a poem with a very strong sequence or time order. You could feature the hours of the day, days of the week, or months of the year - or have a completely different focus, like steps in "how to" do something or driving directions or a slice of history. Being that it is that time of year, my poem is about Spring Break:

UPDATE: YUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have investigated, shared, and/or contributed to our family's Indiegogo campaign! As of Thursday afternoon, April 6th, we have 22 backers and have raised $1,125 towards our goal - 5%! Woot! That translates to $225 going toward the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the Union of Concerned Scientists organizations! Remember, you do not have to order a Tyrannosaurus Rump plushie in order to support this campaign. The "Back It" button allows you to make a donation to help us reach our goal without receiving a plushie. 20% of that donation goes to one of the above organizations.

Bridget -- You've given me strength to get through four more days until our break begins on Friday. Many thanks for the gas-tank-top-off! I recently discovered the Power Packs and am loving them. Cheers!
